Kellogg apologizes for Rice Krispies Treats urination

Battle Creek-based Kellogg on Monday apologized to customers over a video in which a man urinated into a Rice Krispies Treats production line. The 2014 incident recently surfaced in an Internet video.

“Kellogg takes this situation very seriously and we are shocked and disappointed,” company President Paul Norman said in a news release. “While this behavior was disgusting and criminal, this type of situation is a food-quality issue and does not present a food safety risk.”

Kellogg said that law enforcement and the Food and Drug Administration have begun a criminal investigation.
